How it drops
Where it drops
There is no monster that carries The Wayrest Courier's Treads and no chest that holds it. A piece of armour drops first (Boots), and if that piece rolls Legendary on the ladder, the game picks one named record that fits it. Records found among rogue sources weigh five to one, so The Wayrest Courier's Treads is far likelier from the places listed here. Any weapon, armour or jewellery in any corpse or treasure pile can be rolled, so a source of another family can still give it, at the lower odds shown on the last line.
Getting the base piece
A piece has to drop before it can be Legendary. Armour comes from the armour chance on a loot table, and from what a foe wears (see Enemy kits). The odds above are per eligible piece, at Luck 50, with no finders. Luck, Foxglove and a long dry spell multiply them, as the Item rarity page explains.
Items (legendary pieces made from it)
BootsLoot rarity is on by default and forced on online. A Legendary is the second rung from the top of the ladder (Common, Magic, Rare, Legendary, Aetheric, Artifact, Gilded). Its bonuses are fixed; only its condition varies. Foes of its family drop it five times as readily as any other.
